Rock is dead

what's the point of this shitty thread? you've been pushing this meme with that same faggot picture since january.

Why does cultural relevance matter in the slightest?

oh i just read the second half of your post. anyway i know this is bait but qotsa is not a "fad" artist and have been consistently putting out good albums for nearly 20 years. also you haven't explained what "cultural relevance" means but ...like clockwork was acclaimed and got them a lot of new fans

>>71484581

>>71484347
Half of those niche artists aren't that niche
Radiohead is absolutely a rock band what the hell

>>71484722
I like Slint, but they're pretty fuckin niche at the moment. It's kind of impossible to say what is culturally relevant, because you never really know what sticks until you're half a century down the line and still hearing it.

>>71484347
>name a rock band that fits my extremely arbitrary criteria
Fuck off

>>71484581
Hahaha I'm with you OP. It's been delightful to see rock disapear from the cultural discourse.

Damn the denial is strong in this thread.

The brutal truth ? Nobody gives a fuck about what white males have to say in rock music, everything's been done and has become too niche.

I truly believe that the rise of Eminem signed the death of the rockstar. He sparked controversy with outrageous lyrics, was arguably talented and got insanely famous. You expect people too care about all these bands and their generic music which contributes to the pussyfication of the genre? Kek.

>>71484347

Yes rock is dead just like the rest of traditional America.

The new America considers guitar driven music of that nature to be "white" so it will never be culturally relevant again.

>>71486030
>Nobody gives a fuck about what white males have to say in rock music

No one gives a fuck about what black or brown sacks of shit say in rock music either.

Choke to fucking death on your next meal.

The Allman Brothers Band-

Culturally relevant?- check
Criticall acclaimed?- check

The Allman Brothers: Shining at the Beacon

A next-gen 21st lineup sustains the Deep South rockers' star power..

Except for the "In Memory of Elizabeth Reed" finale and the "Whipping Post" encore, the set featured few first-rank crowd-pleasers: the upfully hippieish "Revival," a few slow ones like "Come and Go Blues." But to me the music sounded awful strong, and my guides as well as the audience agreed....There were highlights aplenty, including the surprise covers these shows are famous for: a first-ever "Long Black Veil" done acoustic, and Haynes' diddleybeat rendition of Ann Peebles' "I Feel Like Breaking Up Somebody's Home Tonight," which none of my friends recognized. The surprise guests the shows are famous for were limited to an up-and-coming Texas guitar hotshot, David Grissom, on a "You Don't Love Me" that Haynes called to a somewhat premature halt. There was the standard "Elizabeth Reed" passage when Burbridge finished his unassumingly virtuosic solo and took over Butch Trucks' chair so the old man could rumble on tympani for a roiling four-drum fusillade. But it was Derek Trucks who got the fans going loudest....Trucks is also a bluesman first, but like Duane, he's much bigger than that, prone to sudden jazzy licks and a master of the difficult trick in which he slips off his slide and flexes through a verse or two of startling fluidity. At least half the moments that left us all gasping and then cheering came on his solos. It would be facile as well as sacrilegious to say he's Duane reincarnated with all the extra chops, range, and maturity another eight years on earth have afforded him. They're both too singular to equate. But it's not too facile to be glad to hear the dead live on in the spirit of what they created.

this is what he was talking about:

>>71486972
>Please note that commercial success is not synonymous with cultural relevance

They are a 45yr old band with significant cultural relevance...and current critical acclaim- hence Christgau review from 2013

>>71484347

Why is it so important for rock musicians to be critically acclaimed and famous?

>>71484347
>Radiohead is not a rock band

Haha, friend. :^)
Yeezus wasn't hip-hop either, right?
You're so funny!

Lol I love all the dumb generalizations you make about "critical acclaim"

>*long list of bands, at least 70% of which are critically acclaimed* are not critically acclaimed
nice alt facts

>>71484347
the cure :~)

ghost lmao

So metal is now "too niche" to be "culturally relevant" Who gives a shit anon

>tool "not critically aclaimed"
>2 Grammies
>every album has reached platinum status
>regarded as one of the most influential rock bands of the last 30 years
>"not critically acclaimed"
Either you do not understand what critical acclaim is, or you are just trolling. Shove your retarded baity thread up your arse op

>>71486030
You're dense to believe that the rockstar image was killed by the rise of rap music, it died because of the rise of the internet and social media and realizing that rockstars are either degenerates or are putting on an act.

Rap flourishes now because the only progression for rock is for it to become no longer viable for mainstream success, too niche. Rap was a blank slate at the same time that the rock genre tree was hitting it's last peak with grunge therefore rap filled the void that rock left after grunge turned into derivative trash overtop cobain's grave.
